Daphne is elegant and sophisticated.

Daisy is cutesy and twee.

I know which I'd rather be called.

Both cool names! My favourite is Daisy, but I think Daphne has strong appeal too.

Much prefer Daphne. It's elegant. Dislike Daisy unless it's a nickname.

I love Daphne.

My grandparents run a dairy farm and have had several cows called Daisy!

Daphne is quite old fashioned... I like the suggestion of Delphine above.

I love Daisy

Delphine?

I like both, but Daphne would be my preference. As a professional woman I think I’d rather be a Daphne than a Daisy.

Out of the two I prefer Daphne. Daisy is still a nice name but it is the name that Katy Perry just used for her daughter if that bothers you.

Definitely Daisy.

Monkeytapper · 16/12/2020 22:23

Daisy is lovely
Daphne = Scooby doo

I think Daisy is very overused. Daphne's kind of...naff.
